Agarose Gel Electrophoresis | Biotechnology

In this article we will discuss about agarose gel electrophoresis. To know about quality and quantity of genomic DNA, agarose gel electrophoresis is performed on genomic and amplified DNA. Larger molecules migrate more slowly because of greater friction drag and they form their way through the pores of gel, less efficiently than smaller molecules. Range of separation in gel containing [...]

Why Use Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) in Plant Breeding ?

Justifications for the development and use of MAS in plant breeding fall into four broad areas that are relevant to almost all target crops. These are: a. Traits that are difficult to manage through conventional phenotypic selection because they are expensive or time consuming to measure, or have low penetrance or complex inheritance. b. Traits whose selection depends on specific [...]

Plant Tissue Culture: Meaning and System | Biotechnology

After reading this article you will learn about the meaning and system of plant tissue culture. Meaning of Tissue Culture: Tissue culture is a term, used to indicate the aseptic culture in vitro of a wide range of excised plant parts. It is used for both propagation and modification of genotypes (production of somaclonal variation and double haploids), biomass production [...]
